In 1914 March 13 was a Friday. And yes, we have fish again.
Butter Thins were one of the crackers made by the Johnson Educator Food Company, a favorite of Miss Farmer. She endorses many of their products.
Nut Caramel Cake is a mystery. I can’t find it in any of the Fannie Farmer cookbooks available to me. Let me know if you know where the recipe is!

I’m guessing Newton Pudding was named after the Massachusetts town of Newton, also the namesake of Fig Newtons (first produced in 1891).

Fried Smelts
*Huntington Cole Slaw
Pan-broiled Lamb Chops
Parisian Potatoes
Creamed Carrots
Honeycomb Pudding, Creamy Sauce
In 1914 March 11 was a Wednesday.
The recipe for Fried Smelts includes an unusual garnish alongside the expected parsley and lemon — fried gelatin. This was made with sheets of gelatin quickly fried until it turned white.
The Huntingtons were a prominent New England family and Ralph Huntington was involved with filling in the Back Bay. Fannie Farmer’s cooking school (after she left the Boston Cooking School) was located at 30 Huntington Avenue, which was named for him.

*Fruit and Nut Salad
Graham Sandwiches
Prune Whip, Custard Sauce
In 1914 February 27 was a Friday. Fish again!
Fried Cod and Pork Scraps are two separate items, but served together.
Graham bread is whole wheat bread, but made with flour containing all three parts of the wheat kernel, coarsely ground and unbolted. It’s named after Sylvester Graham, a New England minister who promoted vegetarianism, temperance, and whole grain bread. I’m guessing the Graham Sandwiches are small bread and butter sandwiches to accompany the salad, but I don’t know for sure.
